How to Get Raid Ready in World of Warcraft:Legion

EditPreparation is everything for WoW raiding. Players should read up on all boss fights and familiarize themselves with the dungeon guide to learn boss mechanics at a minimum.

Beyond player skill considerations, consumables and player equipment are important. You should make an effort to have plenty of food that provides them with a beneficial stat bonus such as mastery, crit, or whatever is important for your class/specialization. A character around 840 ilvl with all their gear enchanted and socketed will be able to perform well in normal raids.

Players can also attempt raids in LFR, but unless a conscious effort is made to utilize the mechanics of the encounter you might not get much raiding experience out of it. For example the first boss in Emerald Nightmare, Nythendra, has many mechanics that can punish you if aren’t paying attention. In LFR however, you can safely ignore them with a much reduced risk of dying compared to the higher difficulties. Either way, LFR can be a great place to get gear for your character.

Mythics are an obvious way to gear up for raids with the potential of getting gear that “titanforges” to an ilvl even higher than normal raid baselines.

Another great way to gear up is world quests. Often quest rewards will be high ilvl anyway, but all rewards have a chance to upgrade with special attributes and increased ilvls.

Follower quests can also net you quest starting items that will result in gear useful to getting your ilvl suitable for raiding.
